Azure VM Deployment Tool

Azure Virtual Machine Deployment Tool (AVMD)

SmiKar Software created the AVMD (Azure Virtual Machine Deployer) tool originally to assist themselves during the deployment of virtual machines within Microsoft’s Azure Cloud Environment. We found it such an easy tool to use, that we are offering it for free to everyone.

This tool takes away the majority of manual tasks (ie powershell scripting) required to deploy VMs to Azure, in a handy and easy to use GUI format.

Some of the functionality the application provides:

Lets you easily create additional disks during the deployment, both standard and premium (Depending on the VM size you select)

Lets you automatically join the domain

Remove endpoints

Select the Cloud Service, VNET, subnet and storage accounts which will then be deployed the Virtual Machine

So if you dont want to deploy your virtual servers to Azure with Powershell scripting the manual way, try AVMD. Using the Azure Virtual Machine Deployer makes the deployment of Virtual Machines to Microsoft’s Azure Cloud EASY. Best of all, it’s completely FREE!
